Are you ready to start planning for growth in your digital marketing agency? It’s important to get clear on where you want to go and plan ahead so that you can get there.

What phase of agency growth are you in?

There are different phases of agency growth. First, there’s the starting phase when you are just trying to land your first few clients. Then comes the struggle phase. During the struggle phase, you are focusing on gaining more clients. Once you achieve $15,000 per month you finally get to the phase where you can scale. Your focus is fulfilling orders well and maintaining your clients. You are building your team and putting systems in place. At $50,000 per month, you have finally achieved success. You have more freedom and money. Next, you can consider the significance phase. Once you reach 7 figures you get to the phase you can feel good about your impact and enjoy your freedom and success. Are you ready to start planning for growth so that you can reach significance?

What are the key elements to a 7 figure agency plan?

There are 3 core elements to reaching that 7 figure goal.

  1. Get clients. Create a strategy that gets clients to come to you on a consistent basis. Build authority in your niche so that your clients come to you for advice and see you as the expert.
  2. Fulfill the service. Next, you need to learn to get the work done in a way that results in more clients and doesn’t require you to do everything yourself. Have a sales process that you can package and systematize. Develop a team either virtual or live, it doesn’t matter. Just know that without a team and systems in place you will not have the freedom to enjoy your success and you won’t be able to scale.
  3. You also have to retain clients long-term. First off, you have to kick the relationship off in an amazing way. Once you cement the relationship they will feel confident in you. Create a monthly plan for communication so your clients always know where they stand. Have a mechanism to see the vision. And make sure your clients can see the vision you have for them. Let them know how are you going to keep them growing.

How to fill your funnel

You can’t just take someone off the streets and sell them your $2000 a month package. There is an order in which people gain clients. Clients start out as suspects then become prospects after which they become leads and finally they become clients. Don’t try to skip these steps, instead try to gather more suspects to move up the ladder. To do that you need a CRM with a database. Then you need an opt-in funnel in which your suspects get a sequence of emails. Then once they are exposed to your lead magnet they can reach your appointment funnel where they can make a 1 on 1 appointment with you. Then you need ongoing content development to add value to your database. Listen to this episode to find out how you can get started by building your list full of suspects.
